The alarming disease Of this country
is nervous debility and prostration. 1t
goes under many names, but it is essen
tally the same complaint. Hospitals
and private institutions for nervous pa
dents are crowded. The average of life
in the United States is decreasing every
year. Sudden deaths from nervous col
lapse among our business, professional
and public men are so frequent as scarce
Iyto excite remark. The majority of sui
c1des, committed without apparent rea-
son, or under so-called depression of
Spirits" are really prompted by nervous
prostration, which is fruitful source of
INSANITY and crime with all their grief
and horror.
!: These facts are startling. They threaten
the very life of the nation. They assail
the springs of its power and prosperity.
They wreck manhood's strength and
woman's usefulness and beauty.
Every one should know the causes.
WHAT are they! The answer Is easy and
terribly plain; Our vicious personal hab
its; our careless and Il wIess eating and
drinking; the intense mental and physical
strain arising from our mad race after
money, position and influence; the fears
and struggles of poverty; the use of mar
cotics and stimuIants; our fashion of
turning day into night and night into
day; and, briefly, our desperate willing
ness to pay any pisee for an hours pleas
ure or success. So weburn life's candle
at both ends and fill the ysnstic asylums
and graveyards. - aits
The disease from which We suffer asas
die is, in plain Edggsh, Nafvo Dyspep-
sig, SIS it is seated in tie Nerves and in
the organs of Digestion, Assimilation
sud Nutrition. Healtfs digestion being
impedss g destroyed gdhe whole body
nerves ineludeds-is literally starred;
even when tiiere is no emaciation to tell
the sad story
Nervous prostration sends out its
warnings ;-=hSsdaehe in the morning, a
persisteat dull heaviness or aching at the
base of the brain; waketulness; loss of
appetite and disgust with food; loss of
mentsl eneias and interest in ordinary
duties and business; restlessness and
anxiety without any assignable reason;
eructations; bad breath; foul mucous on
the teeth; occasional giddiness; palpita-
ton of the heart, sallowness of the skin;
coated tongue and gradual failure of
strength and ambition
The remedy is total abandonment of
the habits and customs which cause the
disease in each individual case, and the
use of Shaker Ertract Of Roots (Seigel's
Syrup to cure the mischief already done
This grest remedy, prepared by the Shaz-
er Community of Mt. Lebanon, N. Y, is
especially adapted to eradicate Nervous
Dyspepsia. To do this it acts directly
and gently but powerfully upon the dis
ordered stomach, liver and kidneys, restor-
ing their tone and Vigor, promoting the
secretion of bile, expelling waste matters
from the system and purifying the blood.
Upon the nervous system Shaker En-
tract (Seigel's Syrup acts as safe and
wholesome anodyne without the slightest
narcotic effect, and then leaves the nerves
to regain their natural tone and strength
through its wonderful influence upon the
function of nutrition.
1t is safe to say more nervous dyspep-
tics have been res tored oy it from the
depths of misery to fresh enjoyment
of life and labor than by any or aIl other
forms Of treatment combined.
So Easy to Pronounce.
